In the series the only hint we have is what happens when EVA 01 enters Berserk mode. That makes difficult to me understand how EVA 02's berserk mode works. Ok, so IIUC, the first awakening of EVA 02 is not berserk, because he ran out of electric supply, right? But that dazes me a little, because he ...

I think Neon Genesis Evangelion works perfectly on its own without End of Evangelion . A movie like EoE is the conclusion that EVA needed. In the show there were still many loose ends that we need to be resolved. I'm not saying that EoE leaves no loose ends, however not only fixes some, but it's li...

I agree with you that it was anger, but not that it was because of her death. Rei was never afraid of death. And Shiji told her that Rei II sacrifices herself to save her. I am not saying she was afraid of death. She accepts death, but the thing is, Gendo didn't let her to die. Even when she did, s...

Well, by good, I mean by a person who always do what is right(or as often as they can). And someone who doesn't always treat people like crap(which is exactly what Asuka did). And someone who is honest, self righteous, caring, kind, thoughtful, willing to help for other's sake, asks no reward in re...

So she did some self reflection. But that doesn't mean she's not the least bit sorry for how she treated others after coming back from Instrumentality, does it? But that's the thing. Asuka is not some sort of hero that has certain moral dilemmas about feeling bad for not saving people or others fee...

Oh, what a mixed-feelings movie. Even to this day I can't tell whether this movie is average, mediocre or plainly bad. The thing is, James Cameron is a genius... by tricking you into thinking what you're watching is any good. He did the same with Titanic. Here it's the same, but with even better dis...

^Hmmm. I've never really expected that Asuka would actually feel guilty (ashamed even) for the way she treated others. Not for the way she treated others, but for the way she sees herself. In the moment she says that she is very vulnerable, and for a moment she is not in a -let's say- defensive pos...

What do you mean by that her inner self isn't there. We must remember that her brave(yet cocky) personality is her front, or at least some extension of her personality. So you mean to say that her arrogant and proud attitude is all that is there, so she therefore can't be humbled? Even if you ignor...

I think you people who try to guess if Asuka is "bad" or "good" are treading water. Real people is not good or bad. People does shitty things, and people usually achieve great things. First of all, you are morally judging or in general? I mean, you are discussing the fact that sh...

Thanks gwen for your thread. I see for the stuff you guys send that production scheduling was the problem number 1. Problem number 2 seems to be money, at least for me. I mean, animators in NGE were hardly getting paid and the truth is behind every production problem there is a money problem involve...

That's how I perceived the first half. First-watch problems. You don't know what to expect and what the show is going for. And Utena is especially obtuse. I 've only watched 8 episodes, so I obviously can't judge the series. I actually know that the show is going for something deep, philosophical, ...

This movie is the most unintentionally hilarious movie I've seen in a while. Light killing people to get laid with Misa? CHECKED. Ryuk being a crazy psychopath (because is a "monster" and according to the Hollywood lore, monster = gore)? CHECKED. Light being a total dickhead until the last...

No offense but Miyazaki is pretty narrow-minded. Everything has to be his own way, or it sucks. If someone has a different way to proceed, he doesn't know anything about life, pain, art, etcetera. It's the typical snob pretentious dipshit argument. I mean, the guy has enough merits to be full of him...

I put this on-hold. I know people love Utena to death, but I couldn't pass through it. Cheap homoerotic romance, cutesy absurd plot and magical girl parody isn't my thing. Maybe one day I'll complete it, but 39 episodes of this is like climbing the Everest with no arms (for me).

I agree that the ending of Death Note was pretty rushed, but I don't dislike it at all. Light was so full of himself and so confident that, when he realized he fuckd it up, he panics and became the psychopath pussy he always was. I also like Matsuda killing him, because he proved that not only is a ...

Waiting for an Eva to go berserk is not reliable. By that logic, all they needed to do with Armisael was wait for Rei to be impaled and then self-destruct. Except that meant to sacrifice a human being, destroy an entire city and lose an EVA. The cost was tremendous, so it is not a easy decision, bu...
